front outer CV circlip

[Chuck Pierce]

I had no problem spread in the clip with my circlip pliers.
I did not know of Bernie's great way of doing it.
So I knocked the C/V joint off with my air chisel.
I held the clip and the axle, while my daughter scared the hell out of 
her self
the first time she pulled the trigger. If the bit is held very firmly on the
inner piece it does not do any harm the joint.
